Threading: Consider it Done

Today we learned some threading. Threading is an advanced programming concept where the computer runs your code in multiple threads meaning that it actually does multiple things at the same time. It is known to cause headache to even the most advanced developers.

In our case, we learned all there's to know about threading the Husqvarna Viking Emerald 122 by watching a YouTube video.

This is how it looks when it's properly done.

I have to admit though that I would still be perfectly helpless if I had to do all by myself and would have to resort to the same YouTube video again. Luckily my daughter is up to the task now and is working on a miniature backpack for her teddy bear.

We also discussed our Unity learning project briefly and concluded that the "intermediate" roguelike tutorial is too hardcore for us and we'll have to find something a bit easier to work on. I have a feeling that it'll take a while before we'll talk about threading of the computing variety.EDIT: You're probably dying for a great Threading Tutorial, so here's one!
